‘How do you feel about flu shots?’
“I think there’s a lot of misinformation out there. I’m not sure there’s going to be enough swine flu vaccine. People should check to see if they need it – not everybody does.”
Therese Langevin-Frech
Astoria
“I don’t do the flu shot. The last two times I got the shot I got really sick.”
Kimberly Smith
Seaside
“I don’t like them. That’s just my opinion. I don’t believe in them.”
Lynda Owens
Astoria
“I think they are necessary for the very young, the elderly and infirm. The people in the middle need to make their own best decision for themselves.”
Denise Allen
Svensen
“I’d never had one. Got my first one last week. Flus are getting worse, and I’m getting older. Plus, I do a lot of volunteer work, so I’m exposed more often.”
